Primary Identifier | MGI:96952 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 17246 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables p53 binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in apoptotic process and positive regulation of muscle cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel remodeling; circulatory system development; and traversing start control point of mitotic cell cycle. Located in cytoplasm and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic myeloid leukemia; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); glioblastoma; ichthyosis; and sarcoma. Orthologous to human MDM2 (MDM2 proto-oncogene). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit prenatal lethality. Mice homozygous for one knock-in allele exhibit embryonic lethality while mice homozygous for a different knock-in allele exhibit altered cell cycle regulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
